Here is something I have saved:
One more use for the Creative Cutters that has been a big hit at my shows.....
I have been using the pumpkin cutter to cut the flour tortillas to make pumpkin chips. Then I use the kitchen spritzer filled with orange water (just add food coloring - I use the gel) to tint them orange before I sprinkle them with the cinnamon/sugar. They do get a little wetter this way but it doesn't matter. They still crisp up just fine. Then I serve them with the filling (as a dip) from the Spicy Pumpkin Tartlet recipe on the Simple Additions. They think the chips are store bought and they can't believe the dip is so easy. I just tell them the dip is "A can, a box, a tub and a teaspoon". This has also been selling the Cinnamon Plus.
The recipe for the dip is:
1 can of Pumpkin
1 box of Cheesecake pudding
1 8oz tub of Cool Whip
1 teaspoon of our Cinnamon Plus Seasoning
Other variations might be:
Apple shaped chips spritzed red and served with the apple berry salsa
Hot pepper shaped chips salted with regular salsa .... you get the idea.
